Little  Dutchman  One-Man 
Tractor  Gang 

Do  you  realize  what  it  is  ? — A  one-man  plowing  outfit. 

It  is  perfect  in  every  detail  for  "A  one-man  rig." 

A  few  of  the  real  points  are  : 

Platform  couples  up  close  to  tractor,  swivels  up  and  down,  but  always  staying 
in  position  and  affords  a  stable  footing  for  the  single  operator  when  working 
the  levers,  which  act  forward,  and  are  so  equipped  with  springs  that  the  raising 
of  the  plow  is  easily  accomplished. 

When  rear  shoe  is  dropped  and  plows  raised  for  road  transportation,  bottoms 
are  raised  high  enough  to  clear  all  ordinary  obstructions. 

Furnished  with  either  old  ground  or  breaker  bottoms  which  are  inter- 
changeable on  some  beams. 

Built  in  gangs  of  four  14-inch  plows ;  the  fourth  bottom  can  be  taken  off 
making  a  three-plow. 

Two  gangs  may  be  coupled  together,  with  truck  and  set  over  platform 
(as  shown  on  opposite  page),  this  making  a  combination  of  6,  7  or  8  bottom 
gang — at  a  great  saving  in  cost,  together  with  ease  of  operation,  light  draft  and 
splendid  work.

FLYING     DUTCHMAN     ENGINE     GANG     PLOWS 


Little  Dutchman  Special  Deep  Furrow 
One-Man  Tradlor 

If  you  ever  plowed  a  furrow  in  your  life,  this  cut  from  an  actual  photograph, 
will  tell  you  more  than  you  would  learn  by  reading  a  full  page  of  ordinary 
descriptive  matter. 

You  see  a  45-horse  power  International  tractor  hitched  to  a  four-plow  gang, 
each  plow  cutting  a  furrow  fourteen  inches  wide  and  fourteen  inches  deep,  and 
both  operated  by  one  man. 

Notice  set-over  hitch,  tractor  on  firm  ground  and  plow  in  proper  position, 
being  pulled  naturally  and  perfectly  straight.  See  platform  coupled  up  close  to 
the  tractor,  affording  convenient  and  staple  footing  for  the  single  operator  when 
working  the  levers  to  throw  the  plow  in  or  out  of  work. 

You  can  do  a  perfect  job  of  plowing  at  any  depth  varymg  from  four  to 
fourteen  inches.  All  bottoms  on  Special  Deep  Furrow  One-Man  Tractor  Gangs 
are  14-inch  cut,  general  purpose  shape,  with  special  high  moldboards. 

This  gang  is  built  in  two  sizes :  Four  and  three  bottoms.  The  four-plow 
can  be  reduced  to  three  by  removing  the  rear  bottom  and  beam,  or  vice  versa. 

This  gang  is  also  made  in  the  same  sizes  with  regular  bottoms  capable  of 
plowing  from  four  to  eight  inches  deep  and  can  be  equipped  with  general 
purpose,  old  ground,  or  sod- breaking  shape  bottoms,  the  different  styles  of 
bottoms  being  interchangeable.

Deep  Furrow  Rotary  Gang  No.  3 

A  man's  crop  tells  whether  he  used  it  or  not. 

Conservation  of  moisture  a  dream  of  yesterday — a  necessity  of  today.  The  most 
successful  method  of  conservation  is  the  use  of  the  Deep  Furrow  Rotary  Gang. 

Plow  deep,  12  to  15  inches.  It  has  28-inch  discs  and  a  strong,  heavy  frame. 
Adjust  the  scrapers  and  turn  up  new  soil.     Cover  trash,  manure  or  heavy  weeds. 

Subsoil  if  you  wish.  Set  the  scrapers  to  suit.  Crowd  the  subsoil  over  or  loosen 
it  up  without  turning  it  up  on  top.    These  adjustable  scrapers  do  the  business. 

Break  up  the  hard-pan  if  you  have  any.  Work  your  soil  after  any  method 
you  desire. 

The  Deep  Furrow  Gang  No.  3  is  especially  valuable  in  preparing  the  seed 
bed  for  sugar  beets. 

The  construction  is  modern.      Front  furrow  wheel  controlled  by  the  hitch. 

Can  be  set  for  any  desired  "gather."     Discs  have  chilled  bearings. 

Levers  conveniently  handled  from  running  board. 

Rim  attachments  furnished  when  desired.  Give  additional  weight  in  hard 
plowing  or  rim  surface  in  sand  or  soft  ground. 

Built  in  two  sizes,  3  and  4  discs,  and  can  be  used  in  multiples  of  3  and 
4  as  6,  7,  8,  9,  etc. 


FLYING     DUTCHMAN     ENGINE     GANG     PLOWS 


Big  Dutchman  Engine  Gang 

Built  in  Six,  Eight,  Ten  and  Twelve  Bottoms 

The  Big  Dutchman  Engine  Gang  is  unequalled  for  strength,  convenience 
and  working  qualities. 

Note  its  perfect  features  : 

Frame.  This  heavy  steel  frame  is  designed  so  that  it  equalizes  the  strain 
between  the  engine  and  the  plows.  It  is  supported  by  three  wheels,  the  two  in 
front  being  of  the  caster  type.  This  three-point  suspension  causes  the  plow  to 
follow  an  uneven  surface  without  throwing  unnecessary  weight  upon  any  one 
wheel.  Wheels  have  steel  hubs  with  removable  boxings,  dust  proof  and  provided 
with  compression  grease  cups.  Tires  are  of  heavy  steel  with  wide  face.  The  frame 
is  covered  with  a  durable  plank  platform,  perfectly  flat  on  top,  no  elevations  to 
annoy  the  operator  or  interfere  with  the  carrying  of  a  coal  box  and  water  tank. 
For  convenience  in  handling,  this  platform  is  made  in  two  sections. 

Hitch.  The  hitch  is  composed  of  two  strong  chains  with  two  heavy  com- 
pression springs  attached  to  two  upright  adjustable  steel  clevises.  The  springs  are 
made  to  stand  three  thousand  pounds  each  at  a  compression  of  four  inches. 
They  are  an  advantage  to  both  engine  and  plows  in  starting,  and  when  the  plows 
strike  obstructions  there  is  not  the  dead,  solid  strain  that  there  always  is  with 
hitches  not  equipped  with  springs. 

Individual  Plows.  There  is  a  distinct  advantage  in  having  each  plow 
independent,  controlled  by  its  own  gauge  wheel  and  lever.  In  no  other  way  can 
the  bottoms  be  made  to  do  their  work  properly — cut  furrows  of  uniform  depth. 
When  the  soil  is  in  such  condition  that  the  engine  wheels  make  depressions  in  the 


FLYING     DUTCHMAN      ENGINE     GANG      PLOWS 


ground  the  independent  plows  affected  can  be  adjusted  to  meet  the  requirments. 
When  working  in  stony  fields  but  one  plow  is  affected  by  such  obstructions  and 
there  are  no  "skips"  like  there  are  when  the  plows  are  working  in  gangs 
and  all  rise  when  but  one  is  obstructed. 

Adjustment.    Each  plow  has  an  adjustable  bracket. 

By  this  we  mean  a  bracket  that  has  adjustment  in  itself, 

not  one  where  the  plow  beams  are  adjustable  on  the 

brachet,   or  the  bracket  adjustable  on  the 

frame.      The    purpose    of    this    adjustable 

bracket    is   to  provide    means    for    perfect 

alignment  of  the  plows,  that  each  may  be 

made  to  cut  the  proper  width.     With  this 

device  the  adjustment  can  easily  be  made 

by  the  operator  while  the  plow  is  in  motion 

without  removing  a  nut. 

Standards.     The  standards  are  held  between  the  two  heavy  steel  beams  and 

are   equipped  with  a  screw  rod,  enabling  the  operator,  while  the  plows  are  in 

operation,  to  regulate  the  suction  required  for  different  depths  of  plowing. 

Levers.     The  levers  are  all  steel,  long  and  heavy.     When  the  plows 
are  to  be  lowered,  the  operator  usually  releases  two  at  one  time.     It  is  not 
necessary  for  him  to  stop  to  set  the  levers  as  when  the 
plows  enter  the  ground  they  move  the  levers  to  position, 
where  they  are  stopped  automatically.    At  the  end  of  the 
field  one  man  will  readily  operate  the  levers  as  fast  as 
necessary  to  finish  up  evenly.    Each  plow  has 
a  powerful  lifting  spring  that  may  be  adjusted 
to  suit  conditions.      These  springs  make  an 
extraordinarily  easy  lift. 

Gauge  Wheels.     Each  plow  has  an  in- 
dependent gauge  wheel,  sixteen  inches  high 

with  a  three  and  one-half  inch  rim  closed  on  both  sides.  Being  closed  on 
both  sides  avoids  all  danger  of  its  gathering  trash.  The  hubs  have  hard  steel 
boxing,  dust  proof,  and  the  spindles  are  chilled,  making  the  most  durable  bearing 
known.  The  gauge  wheels  are  set  in  a  steel  yoke  which  slopes  down  to  the 
center  of  wheel  from  a  point  forward  on  the  beam,  thus  preventing  trash  from 
being  pushed. 

With  this  point  in  view  the  wheels  are  arranged  so  that  when  the  plow  is 
lowered  for  work  the  wheels  move  back  toward  the  plow,  and  when  raised  they 
move  forward,  which  gives  an  unusually  high  lift.  Note  the  picture  on  pre- 
ceding page   showing  the  plow  in  a  raised   position. 


FLYING      DUTCHMAN      ENGINE     GANG      PLOWS 

Swivel  Coulters.  The  coulters  are  of  special  design.  They  have  a  heavy- 
one  and  one-half  inch  stem  and  may  be  given  any  desired  set.  The  yoke  is  made 
of  steel.  The  bearings  are  so  designed  that  they  can  be  kept  tight  at  all  times. 
They  are  chilled  cast  and  covered  with  large  flange  to  exclude  dust.  The  hubs 
are  very  narrow,  giving  greater  clearance  between  coulters  and  gauge  wheels. 
Oil  holes  on  the  side  of  hubs  have  a  screw  plug  to  keep  out  dust  and  dirt. 


Bottoms.  Both  stubble  and  breakers  have  fifteen-inch  shares  on  fourteen- 
inch  bottoms.  This  extra  inch  insures  thorough  cutting  of  furrow  walls.  These 
shares  are  three-eights  thick  with  heavy  points.  Breaker  points  are  reinforced 
with  crucible  steel.  Either  fin  cutters  or  coulters  can  be  used  with  the  breaker 
bottom.  An  adjustable  extension  is  furnished  for  breaker  moldbords.  Frogs  are 
of  hard  steel,  the  most  desirable  for  engine  plow  use.  Rod  breaker  bottoms  can 
be  furnished  when  desired.
